Characteristics of the adenohypophyseal Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase. 1984

J L Turgeon, and S J Ashcroft, and D W Waring, and M A Milewski, and D A Walsh

The Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, initially described by Takai et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 254, 3692-3695, 1979), has been identified in the anterior pituitary gland of the rat and sheep. The enzyme is essentially undetectable in initial cell extracts but marked activity is manifest following DEAE chromatography, suggesting the potential presence of an endogenous inhibitor of this enzyme. Two forms of this protein kinase exist in both sheep and rat anterior pituitary gland, both of which are similarly dependent upon Ca2+, phosphatidyl serine and diacylglycerol. Several endogenous substrates for this protein kinase have been observed in both the pars distalis and pars tuberalis of the sheep adenohypophysis.

D010903 Pituitary Gland, Anterior The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis. It secretes the ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES that regulate vital functions such as GROWTH; METABOLISM; and REPRODUCTION.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
